Setup Pre-Configuration
Before a live event, pre-configure your inputs, macros, and stream settings to minimize on-the-fly adjustments. This ensures a smoother and more reliable live production.
ISO Recording Benefit
Leverage the ISO recording feature by ensuring you have a fast, high-capacity SSD connected. This records all input feeds individually, providing immense flexibility for post-production editing even after a live stream
Audio Management
Pay close attention to audio levels and routing. The ATEM Extreme ISO offers comprehensive audio control, so utilise its mixer and processing features to ensure clean, balanced sound.
Networking for Control
Connect the ATEM to a reliable network. This enables control from the ATEM Software Control application on a computer, offering much more detailed control than the physical buttons alone.
Redundancy Planning
For critical live streams, plan for redundancy wherever possible – backup internet connections, redundant power, and a prepared contingency for camera or audio failures.
